"It's a blooming wash-out, and was never any good. Old as an unpaid bill and worn bell-mouth it is, and nobody can fire with it." On a new rifle being obtained I passed the preliminary test, and a rather repentant instructor remarked that it might be possible to make a soldier of me some day.
Ten solid miles of Pullman and other trains, including the Twentieth Century Flyer, on the Pennsylvania Railroad, extended from Lima to Lafayette, held up by a wash-out. Repairs allowed the trains to move on about eleven o'clock.
"Yes, I mean Cayley. Is he down? I say, I shan't be a moment, Bill." He got up from the bed and went on briskly with his dressing. "Oh, by the way," said Bill, taking his place on the bed, "your idea about the keys is a wash-out." "Why, how do you mean?" "I went down just now and had a look at them. We were asses not to have thought of it when we came in.
It's some time since the Toronto train got in. George has been here nearly an hour." "Your neighbor's hired man drove me from the station. I came by Amprior and Prescott; there was a wash-out on the Sudbury track. But what was George doing at Toronto?" "Looking after your business," George replied. "I'm afraid you've got to brace up. They told me you were fired!" Agatha laughed.
The hunt was tedious and the teamsters murmured at the delay to their camp work. But the search went forward unrelentingly. Not a corner capable of concealing a dog was overlooked by the painstaking Indian and not until he had reached the last wagon was his hope exhausted.

And with poops one has to employ the strong, forceful, straightforward policy. Psychology doesn't get you anywhere. You, if I may remind you without wounding your feelings, fell into the error of mucking about with psychology in connection with this Fink-Nottle, and the result was a wash-out.
He laughed. "But the boys bein' just boys, the round up don't ever seem to make good; and that through trip looks most like a bum sort of freight in the wash-out season. Outside his missioner business I guess the guy was pretty wise, though. And his knowledge of the lumber play left me without a word. He knew it all an' I guess he told it to me." Bull laughed.
It was in depressed mood that he played a listless nine holes; nor had life brightened for him when he came back to the hotel two hours later, after seeing Lucille off in the train to New York. Never till now had they had anything remotely resembling a quarrel. Life, Archie felt, was a bit of a wash-out.
Nobody knows anything about the damned place." "That is our best chance," said the King. "If any one did know Megalia, the company would be what is it you say a scrub down no a wash-up ah, I have it a wash-out." "You'd grant concessions, I suppose," said Gorman.
I shan't give it away, of course, but somehow there are one or two little things which make me think that Mark really did shoot his brother I mean other than accidentally." "Murdered him?" "Well, manslaughtered him, anyway. I may be wrong. Anyway, it's not my business." "But why do you think so? Because of the keys?" "Oh, the keys are a wash-out. Still, it was a brilliant idea of mine, Wasn't it?
